Very envious, can't believe it's almost a year since we were in Costa Rica

I'm dreaming about a 2 months trip next year through Costa Rica and Panama (on a shoe string!), but still not sure I'll be able to do it (time and family constraints mainly...). I'm still going to plan it in detail though, it's just lots of fun! :)

Happy to mail you my report from CR if you pm an e-mail?

We didn't do it particularly cheaply but we didn't throw money around either, it is a pricey country.

Well, that's my lunch hour over very quickly - totally addictive, and I've learned that the strange looking cross between a pheasant and a cuckoo is a Chachalacha! (thanks to the handy Cornell Lab ID guide on the same Youtube page)

I spent ages looking at the clay colored thrushes, as today they all appeared to have a reddish hue to the chest, and I eventually pulled my Caribbean guides to check, as I knew them as buff breasted.
Great camera though

I haven't seen the motmot personally, mentioned it as a species that had occurred before I posted the link. According to the Cornell website, the Euphonias are most likely Thick-billed. 10 species at a webcam in 24 hours, not too bad!
At night there were a few hawkmoths feeding on the flowers on the background; there was a butterfly (with large white spots) darting by over the fruit today, just a while ago. And there's a squirrel showing up from time to time (any idea about the ID?).

I have seen the Motmot today. There was a Warbler for a brief moment tehre as well (maybe Tennessee)
